Fire Emblem

Fire Emblem (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム) is a popular strategy and role-playing video game franchise, developed by Intelligent Systems, and published by Nintendo. It is from the developers of Advance Wars, from the Nintendo Wars series (which shows in the gameplay, both games having almost the same gameplay). It was created by Shouzou Kaga, who later developed Tear Ring Saga. The Fire Emblem franchise has graced the Famicom, Super Famicom, Game Boy Advance, and the Nintendo GameCube. It was confined to Japan until the seventh installment, which was released on the Game Boy Advance in North America in 2003. Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (Blazing Sword), for Game Boy Advance, is the first Fire Emblem game to be localized to North America and Europe. It was released in the United States and Europe under the name of "Fire Emblem" without any subtitle. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is the last game on the Super Famicom. The Fire Emblem series was scored by Yuka Tsujiyoko, the composer for Paper Mario who also scored part of Tetris Attack, except Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki,
which was scored by Saki Haruyama, Yoshihiko Kitamura, and Yoshito
Hirano, under Tsujiyoko's supervision. Shouzou Kaga resigned from
Intelligent Systems after Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and started his own business, Tirnanog.

Death is permanent in a Fire Emblem game if the game progress is saved. Some characters get revived automatically; for example, in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken ("Fire Emblem" in the US), if one character dies in Lyndis's
story, they get automatically revived in Eliwood's or Hector's story,
but lose valuable level-ups. However, if a leading character dies (for
example: Lyn, Eliwood, or Hector in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken) or if a home base gets seized by the enemy, the story will cease and the chapter must be replayed. Fire Emblem features many character classes. Fire Emblem
is remarkable amongst Tactical Role Playing Games in that it is quite
easy to learn. The primary system, the Weapon/Magic Triangle, is quite
simple. Lance beats sword, sword beats axe, and axe beats lance. In the same vein, Anima magic beats light magic, light magic beats dark magic, and dark magic beats Anima magic. In Fire Emblem: Seisen No Keifu, light and dark magic are evenly matched against each other, and they both beat out the natural magic triangle of fire, wind, and thunder, wherein fire beats wind, wind beats thunder, and thunder beats fire; in Fire Emblem: Souen No Kiseki,
the natural magic triangle remains, but light magic is neither
effective nor ineffective against it (and dark magic is non-existent in
that game).

The original Fire Emblem was a shield which allowed the wielder, Marth, to use the Falchion. During the second part of Monshou No Nazo, the Fire Emblem can be upgraded with the 5 orbs to turn it into the Shield of Seals. In later games, the Fire Emblem takes on different meanings. In Rekka no Ken and Fuuin no Tsurugi,
the Fire Emblem is a seal required for a ceremony to recognize the heir
to the throne of Bern. The seal was stolen twice in the history of
Bern; once by King Desmond to prevent the recognition of his son, Zephiel,
as heir (FE7) and second by Guinivere, in order to delay the war her
half-brother Zephiel started (FE6). In the Sacred Stones, the Fire
Emblem is the Sacred Stone of Grado, which holds the Demon King's
Spirit, but is split in two (the other half forms the Dark Stone), and
then the Fire Emblem is crushed.

In 1995, an anime OVA (co-produced with KSS)
was produced and released; it was closely based on the first three acts
of the very first game in the series or more specifically, the remake
contained in Monshou no Nazo. See also Fire Emblem (anime).

Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi (The Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light), Famicom (1990)

Screenshot of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi

Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム　暗黒竜と光の剣) is the very first Fire Emblem game. It takes place on the Akaneian continent. It stars Marth, a character who later appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is the prince of Altea. His mentor is Jeigan, an old but powerful knight who was sworn to guide and protect Marth all through the game. The knight Doga, the archer Gordon, and the cavalier duo Kain and Abel are members of Jeigan's squad.

The story of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi begins when the Devil King Garnef helps resurrect the Dark Dragon Medeus,
allowing the evil Dolua empire to revive as well. As the continent is
taken over by Dolua, the Altean King, Cornelius, is killed, the
Falchion (used a century before to kill Medeus by Altea's hero, Anri)
is taken. Marth himself is forced to retreat to the island kingdom of
Talis with Jeigan's squad. For some time, he lives there without worry,
but one day, the Garuda Pirates ambush the people of Talis, forcing
Marth to fight back. Now Marth must lead a campaign on a road through
the Akaneian continent and destroy Medeus to end Dolua's dark reign.
Fortunately, he won't have just Jeigan's squad assisting him; the
Princess of Talis, Sheeda; the commander of Talis' army, Oguma; Soldier
of Orleans, Hardin; Warren mercenaries, Raddy and Caesar; along with
many others are there to help, as well as many enemies Marth manages to
convince of his righteousness during the campaign.

Fire Emblem Gaiden (Side-Story), Famicom (1991)

Screenshot of Fire Emblem Gaiden

Fire Emblem Gaiden (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム外伝) is a side story to the original Fire Emblem. It stars Alm and Celica. Alm and Celica knew each other since they were children. They each run a separate army. Several characters from the original Fire Emblem, including the pegasus knight Paola, make a comeback in Fire Emblem Gaiden.

The game takes place in the continent of Valencia, over a span of 5
Chapters. As each Chapter unfolds more of the map is revealed, for
players to traverse. There are two kingdoms: Rigel and Sofia. Alm
doesn't know at first, but he is later revealed to be the Prince of
Rigel (Rudolf's son). Celica is the Princess of Sofia, and she also
appears to be a priestess of Mira, a goddess. Fire Emblem Gaiden was
the first Fire Emblem game where the two Lord characters were able to
promote. Alm's starting class is Fighter and he promotes into Hero.
Celica is a Priestess, and she promotes into Princess.

Some of the unique gameplay mechanics of Gaiden made a comeback in Tear Ring Saga: Yutona Eiyuu Senki and Fire Emblem: Seima No Kouseki.

Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem), Super Famicom (1993)

Screenshot of Monshō no Nazo

Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム　紋章の謎) is Fire Emblem's first Super Famicom (SNES) installment. The events of the original Fire Emblem game were reinvented into this game. Monshô no Nazo mainly has the direct sequel to the original game, and also stars Marth. Most of the characters from the original Fire Emblem game returned in Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo. Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo
held the no. 1 position on the Famitsu chart for one year. Also
introduced is the Dismount command, having a cavalier get off a horse.
In Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, cavaliers can only use lances
when on horseback and swords when on foot. In interior, or in-door,
chapters of the game, cavaliers are forced to dismount. The remake and
the sequel in Monshō no Nazo are called "Book 1" and "Book 2"
respectively. They have two separate soundtracks. As for the recruiting
theme, it is in band style in Book 1 and in orchestral style in Book 2.
Book 2's soundtrack is more classical. In Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo, Hardin,
former ally of Marth turned King, betrays Marth, and before long, Marth
learns that the Dragon King Medeus is still alive. Marth must fight
against Hardin in order to restore order to the continent, and once
Hardin is killed, secret epilogue chapters can be played in which Marth
fights reincarnations of Dark Sage Garnef and Dragon King Medeus.

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (Genealogy of the Holy War), Super Famicom (1996)

Field map screenshot from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (in English), Nodion castle shown

Main article: Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu

Released in Japan on May 14, 1996, Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム　聖戦の系譜) is the most imported Fire Emblem game. It has been very popular through emulation in the United States, especially since the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee, which virtually lacks reference to this Super Famicom game, and it is therefore an import classic. Many who played Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu studied Japanese. According to the official Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken site by Nintendo of America, Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu was the most successful game in the Fire Emblem series. It deviates from the standard Fire Emblem gameplay mechanisms to some extent.

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu takes place in the continent of Jugdral (pronounced YOOG-druhl and based on the Norse mythological name Yggdrasil),
located about southeast from Akaneia. The country at the center of
Jugdral is called Grandbell. The other countries are the Kingdom of
Isaac (pronounced ih-ZAHRK in the game as the katakana transcription
suggests, not "eye-zick" as in the Bible), the Kingdom of Silesia, the
Lords Dominion of Agustria, Manster District, the Kingdom of Thracia,
and the Kingdom of Verdane. The first half of the game stars Sigurd (also known as Siglud, according to Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu: TREASURE), the prince of Chalphy (pronounced SHAL-fee), son of Byron (TREASURE:Vylon),
a descendant of Baldo. His Chalphian squad includes Arden (a
heavy-armored knight), Noish (a social knight), and Alec (a social
knight). He has a younger sister named Ethlin and a brother-in-law and
close friend Cuan, prince of Lenster. Sigurd and his forces meet their
destiny at the end of the fifth chapter. In chapter two, Sigurd marries
Diadora, who first appeared in chapter one. In chapter five, their
destiny is delivered by Alvis and the Thracian army. The second half of
the game stars Selis (TREASURE:
Celice), son of Sigurd, and his forces, who are either children of the
characters in the first half or substitute characters that replace
them. Fin, a knight of Lenster, is the only character in the game who
fights in both halves of the game. He also starred in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu has great graphics and sound for a Super NES game. Gunpei Yokoi was the producer of this game. Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu has the largest soundtrack of any Fire Emblem game, composed of 114 tracks. It has been considered Tsujiyoko's largest work.

Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu starts off with a prologue
beginning with the army of the Kingdom of Grandbell attacking the
nearby Kingdom of Isaac, and the army of Verdane invading Grandbell,
which has only a handful of remaining soldiers: Sigurd, Noish, Alec,
and Arden. The first enemy message is when Edin (TREASURE:Adean),
the daughter of Lord Ring, of Jungby Castle gets captured by Gandolf of
Marpha Castle of Verdane and gets taken to Verdane. Sigurd had no
choice but to take up arms in order to rescue Adean. At the end of the
prologue, Sigurd seizes Evans Castle and makes it his army's home base
in Chapters 1 and 2. At the beginning of Chapter 1, Eltshan shows up
and meets with Sigurd. Meanwhile, Kinbois passes the enemy message to
the Genoa Castle army. Then Ira and Shanan from Isaac (pronounced
ih-ZAHK in the game) talk with Kinbois, and Ira says no to
double-crossing. At the player's second turn, Adean escapes with Dew
the thief. After Sigurd conquers Genoa Castle, thus saving Shanan, he
convinces Ira to defect to his army. Shortly thereafter, a fight breaks
out between Nodion Castle and Evans Castle. The border guard informed
Eltshan, the king of Nodion Castle, about the Heirhein Castle army
attempting to seize Evans Castle. Eltshan and his cross knights marched
on and easily defeated the Heirhein knights, commanded by Elliot.

The storyline of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu comes out to be similar to that of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo, as Garnef strives to revive the Dark Dragon Medeus, Manfroy strives to revive the Dark Lord Loputousu.

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Super Famicom (1999, 2000)

Screenshot from Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム　トラキア776) is
the last game ever released for the Super Famicom. Therefore, it is the
Super Famicom finale. It is the midquel to Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. It happens between chapters five and six of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. It stars Leaf, the son of Cuan and Ethlin; his guardian Fin who took him into hiding in chapter five of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, and a host of many other characters, including characters from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. Leaf retaliates against the Thracian army because of what they did to his parents. Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
introduces night combat, which is only portions of the map are shown
and the others blacked out. A torch is needed to light the way in night
combat. This is also called "fog of war." Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 also introduced the Rescue feature known to players of the US edition of Fire Emblem on GBA, although in this game, you can capture enemies. Some characters from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, including Fin, have been carried over to Thracia 776, and some other Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu characters have been merely mentioned in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, such as Sigurd, Levin, Beowulf, and Lachesis. The graphics of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 are slightly better than those of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu.

Spoiler Warning: Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 contains spoilers for Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, both in Japanese and in English. Therefore, it is not recommended to play Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 before playing Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu for the first time.

Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi (Sword of Seals), Game Boy Advance (2002)

Screenshot Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi

Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi (ファイアーエムブレム　封印の剣) stars Roy, who had previously appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
It takes place on the continent of Elibe (or Ereb, in the original
Japanese version). Roy leads the League of Lycia's army against the
forces from the militant country of Bern shortly after his father falls
ill. He is the son of the Marquess of Pherae.

The story begins when King Zephiel,
ruler of the Kingdom of Bern, finishes the brutal conquest of Ilia and
Sacae and sets his sights on Lycia. With the war coming to his own
country, Roy is sent home to lead Pherae's army to oppose Bern, but
soon after he meets Guinivere,
the princess of Bern. With the stalwart general Hector's faithful
farewells, Roy carries on the Lycian League and makes many promises: to
protect Guinivere, Hector's beloved daughter Lilina, and most importantly, to save the entire continent from Zephiel's mysterious thirst for world domination.

Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi was released in Japan in 2002.
Rumours of a U.S. release ran for quite a while, but most of them have
died out by now. There is an online download that is an English
translation of the game. It is obtainable at the FESS forums (see
External Links).

Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi also has versions of songs from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. The arena battle theme was originally the player battle theme of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu. The recruit theme of Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi is the same as the recruit theme of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu.

There are many efforts for Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi to come to
the United States, whether through online forum organizations (ex.
Nintendo.com's Lords and Swords Alliance) or online petitons.

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (Blazing Sword), Game Boy Advance (2003)

Screenshot Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken

Main article: Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken

Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム 烈火の剣,
Translation: Blazing Sword or Sword of Fire, Blazing Sword being the
most popular term) is the first Fire Emblem game to be released in the United States. It was developed with a North American release in mind. It is the prequel to Fire Emblem: Fûin no Tsurugi, in which you battle a group called the Black Fang. The first part stars Lyndis, the first female character to be in the Lord class. The later part stars Eliwood
(Roy's father) as he goes to search for his missing father. The
alternate later part stars Hector, the first member of the Lord class
to wield an axe. Although most of Hector's quest is the same as
Eliwood's, his quest features a handful of addtional levels and
characters, as well as an overall increased difficulty (which is even
more pronounced in the hard mode). If any one of these 3 lords dies at
any point in the game, the game is over. The game has an in-game
tutorial (Lyn's Quest) and versions of songs from the original Fire Emblem game (Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi) and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. The recruit theme of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken was originally the recruit theme of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi. The arena battle theme of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken was originally the player battle theme of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776.

Screenshot of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Main article: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム 聖魔の光石) is the third portable Fire Emblem
game on Game Boy Advance. Unlike the previous two, this one takes place
on a brand new continent called Magvel, which was populated by evil
monsters. Men once sealed the evil forces using the five Holy Jewels,
which later became heirlooms to the five different royal families. The
game starts out with the Empire of Grado conquering the Kingdom of
Renais. Unfortunately, the crown prince, Ephraim,
had gone to the front line of battle, but all contact with him was
lost. Knowing that he would not stand much of a chance against the
Grado's superior forces, King Fado orders the loyal Seth to escort Princess Eirika to the neighboring kingdom of Frelia and seek help.

Henceforth you can start gathering new characters to improve you
fighting force. Despite starting the game as Eirika, you would later be
reunited with her twin brother and then you'll be given the choice to
choose your own main Lord between the two. The following chapters will
then be different depending on your choice. You will begin on your
quest to pay a visit to the many countries of Magvel and gather allies
in order to defeat the villain who unleashed this unspeakable power of
darkness in the first place. Seth gives Ephraim and Eirika their divine
weapons, which are the Siegmund and Sieglinde respectively.

The game boasts sub-maps and a class change system that allows the
player to select a class to upgrade to. It also beefs up level-building
capability. The game also introduces apprentice classes - weak classes
that are set below the first tier of classes, allowing characters that
start in them to have an extra nine levels of growth. Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki has a gameplay engine reminiscing that of Fire Emblem Gaiden.

Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki was scored by Saki Haruyama,
Yoshihiko Kitamura, and Yoshito Hirano, and under the supervision of
Yuka Tsujiyoko. The arena battle theme of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kōseki was originally the player battle theme of Fire Emblem Gaiden.

The official website can be found at http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/be8j/

Fire Emblem: Seima no Kôseki was released in the U.S. as Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones on May 23, 2005.

Screenshot depicting Fire Emblem's new 3D look in Fire Emblem: Sōen no Kiseki

Fire Emblem: Sōen no Kiseki (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム 蒼炎の軌跡) is the first game in the series for the Nintendo GameCube, which makes it Fire Emblem's first return to the home consoles since Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 for the Super Famicom and also the first Fire Emblem
to be released in North America on a console. The game takes place in a
land called Tellius and features a completely new cast. The graphics
are rendered in a three-dimensional, cel-shaded manner similar to Dragon Quest VIII, Dark Cloud 2, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
It has been speculated that this decision was made in order to soften
the animated violence and/or preserve the graphical style of previous
titles in the series. Nintendo has confirmed that this game will be
released outside Japan as Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

Fire Emblem: Sōen no Kiseki will be the first game in the series to use Full Motion Video, and, like Final Fantasy X, the game makes good use of that.

Notes and regional record

Two Fire Emblem characters, Marth and Roy, are secret characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Marth starred in Fire Emblem: Ankoku no Ryû to Hikari no Tsurugi (Dragon of Darkness and Sword of Light), and Fire Emblem: Monshô no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem). Roy starred in Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi (Sealed Sword). Super Smash Bros. Melee virtually lacks reference to Fire Emblem Gaiden, Seisen no Keifu, and Thracia 776. According to the official Japanese site of Nintendo, Marth was put in Super Smash Bros. Melee upon Japan's request, although Fire Emblem was unheard of in North America and Europe prior to the time of Super Smash Bros. Melee. He was developed for Super Smash Bros. Melee expecting that he would be dummied out of the North American
version of the game. However, he was well-crafted, earning him extended
attention in North America. Eventually, by the decision of Nintendo of
America, he was included in the North American version of Super Smash Bros. Melee the same way as in the Japanese version. Roy was developed for Super Smash Bros. Melee for the purpose of advertising Fire Emblem: Fûin no Tsurugi. Marth and Roy later became immensely popular in North America and Europe.

Of the Fire Emblem series, the games before Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken were marketed exclusively in Japan. The last Japan-only installment, Fire Emblem: Fûin no Tsurugi still has a chance for localization to North America and Europe. Fan translations of the first five Fire Emblem games are underway, being translated from Japanese to English. North America has been showing interest in the Fire Emblem series since the invention of game emulation, or since the release of Super Smash Bros. Melee. If any of the Fire Emblem games before Rekka no Ken
get remade for Nintendo GameCube or a later Nintendo console, they will
probably get the opportunity to come to North America, Europe, and
Australia.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has a reference to Fire Emblem.

[edit]

History-making characters

Several Fire Emblem characters have made history in the Fire Emblem series.

• Marth - From Fire Emblem: Ankoku no Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo,
  is the first Lord, and, also, the only Lord who kept his position
  during two games. He also appeared as a secret playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
• Jeigan - From Fire Emblem: Ankoku no Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi, is the first character of the archetype "Jeigan" and gave the name to the well known archetype.
• Celica - From Fire Emblem Gaiden, is the first female main character.
• Sigurd - From Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, is the first in the Lord class to have exceptional stats and the first Lord to be mounted on a horse.
• Lex - From Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, is the series' first axefighter on horseback.
• Ira - From Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu,
  is the first popular female swordfighter, and the first female
  character to start a class that is also held by male characters. She is
  one of the most popular Fire Emblem characters. She is the originator of the Myrmidon and Swordmaster classes, which have become favorites among fans.
• Leaf - From Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and Thracia 776, is the first in the Lord class to have a hair color that is not blue.
• Roy - From Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, is featured as an unlockable character, similar to Marth but with more power and less speed, in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee before appearing in his own Fire Emblem game. Additionally, he makes a cameo appearance as a child in Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.
• Sue - From Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, is the series' first female archer on horseback. She is the daughter of Rath from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.
• Lyndis - From Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, is the first female character to be in the Lord class. A female Lord is sometimes called a Lady.
• Hector - From Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, is the first in the Lord class to wield an axe.
• Eirika - From Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, is the first female character to be the game's main Lord all the way through game ending.
• Ephraim - From Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, is the first in the Lord class to wield a lance on foot.

[edit]

List of Fire Emblem character archetypes

Fire Emblem is known for having traditions by imposing character
archetypes. Archetypes are named by the character to first have their
specific qualities.

• Jeigan
  - A term used for a prepromoted character who starts out to be a vastly
  strong unit, but deteriorates in utility throughout the game, levels up
  very slowly, gains almost no experience against enemies who are
  otherwise advantageous against other characters, has extremely low stat
  growths, and becomes surpassed by most of the game's initially
  unpromoted units and ends up being a completely worthless unit by the
  end of the Fire Emblem game, but is a mentor to a character holding the Lord class, and is usually a Paladin. Jeigan appears at the beginning of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Book 1, as Marth's mentor. In Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Book 2, he appears as a non-playable character. Alan of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Book 2 is Jeigan on steroids. Other Jeigan characters include Oifey of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Dagda of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Marcus of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Seth of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Titania of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.
  Seth is regarded the strongest Jeigan, with Oifey as the second
  strongest. Jeigan characters are appealing to players who are new to
  the Fire Emblem video game franchise, but they are usually
  frowned upon by larger fans. Dagda was the first non-Paladin Jeigan,
  being a Warrior. Several players do not consider Seth and Titania true
  Jeigans, because they have good stat growths and remain useful for the
  entire game. In fact, Seth has more total stat growth than any of the
  other Cavaliers in Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki. This is
  however offset by his lowish starting statistics, which leads to him
  having lower-to-similar stats to the rest of the Paladins in the game
  (sans Orson) on average.

• Est - A term used for a late-coming
  unpromoted unit who seems to be worthless at first, but has very high
  stat growths and ends up being a vastly strong unit by the end of the
  game. An Est can be considered to be the exact opposite of Jeigan. Est
  appears in Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and in Book 1 of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo. She appears a bit earlier in Book 2. Farina and Nino are Est-like characters of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.

• Doga - A term used for a heavy-armoured unit who is big and strong and reliable. Apart from Doga, such characters include Ardan of Fire Emblem: Seisen No Keifu, Bors of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Oswin of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Gilliam of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Gatrie of Fire Emblem: Souen No Kiseki. Marty of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is also part-Doga with high overall defensive ability for a non-Jeigan who joins in Chapter 1.

• Kain - A term used for a very handsome man who is a
  red-armoured or orange-armoured cavalier and has ties with a
  green-armoured cavalier, and relies on HP, strength, and defense. Apart
  from Kain, such characters include Noish of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Klyce of Tear Ring Saga: Yutona Eiyuu Senki, Alan of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Kent of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Forde of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Kevin of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.

• Abel - A term used for a green-armoured or jade-armoured
  cavalier (or some other unpromoted class) who has ties with a
  red-armoured cavalier, and who relies on speed, skill, accuracy, and
  luck. Some of such characters are notorious womanizers. Apart from
  Abel, such characters include Alec of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Archis of Tear Ring Saga: Yutona Eiyuu Senki, Lance of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Sain of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Kyle of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Oscar of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.

• Oguma
  - A term used for a sophisticated swordfighter who is a mercenary and
  knows good values of a swordfighter, and has high HP and strength and
  maxes out early in the game. Ogma himself appears in Chapter 1 of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Book 1. Other Oguma characters include Holyn of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Dieck of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Raven of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Gerik (Jist) of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Soanevalcke of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.

• Nabarl
  - A term used for a swordfighter who is very swift, faster than the
  Oguma character, appearing first as a dangerous enemy and difficult to
  recruit. Nabarl appears as an enemy in Chapter 3 of both Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo
  Book 1, chasing Julian and Rena along with the Samshan bandits, and is
  recruited to Marth's army by Sheeda. Nabarl also fights in Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo Book 2. Other Nabarls include Ayra of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu, Rutger and Fil of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Guy of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Joshua (Jhosua) and Marisa (Marika) of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Zihark of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.
  Ayra was the first female of the archetype and arguably the most
  difficult and rewarding one to recruit. She has the potential to be the
  strongest of all Nabarls due to the higher strength caps given to
  Swordmasters in her game. Lakche, Shanan, Mareeta, and Wayu do not
  count as Nabarls, because they do not start off as enemies. Nabarls are
  usually killed off as enemies by players who are new to the Fire Emblem
  video game franchise, but they are praised by some Fire Emblem fans who
  have been playing longer. Nabarls sometimes become a favourite
  character for fans who killed them off in their first playthrough.

• Julian - A term used for a thief who seems to be useless but
  has the potential to be useful in battle, not just in map interaction.
  Julians will typically support your army's cause naturally. Julian is
  first found trying to help Rena escape from the Samshan Bandits in
  Chapter 3 of both Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi and Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo. Other Julians are Dew from Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu 1st Generation, Patty/Daisy of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu 2nd Generation, Rifis of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Yuni of Tear Ring Saga: Yutona Eiyuu Senki, Chad of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Matthew of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Colm of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Volke of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.

• Rena - A term used for a female healer who appears very
  early in the game. Rena appears with Julian and is being pursued by
  Nabarl. Other Renas include Adean (Aideen) of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu 1st Generation, Rana of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu 2nd Generation, Saphy of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Ende of Tear Ring Saga: Yuton Eiyuu Senki, Ellen of Fire Emblem: Fuuin no Tsurugi, Serra of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, Natasha of Fire Emblem: Seima no Kouseki, and Mist of Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki.

• Maric - A term used for a magic-using character who usually uses Wind magic. Maric appears in Chapter 4 of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu To Hikari No Tsurugi and Book 1 of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo. In Book 2 of Fire Emblem: Monshou no Nazo,
  Maric appears in Chapter 9 as a character to be saved from attack and
  then joins Marth's army in the following chapter. Levin, the Maric
  character of Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and the prince of
  Silesia, fights during the first half and serves as an advisor during
  the second half. Other Marics include Asvel of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and Marj of Tear Ring Saga: Yutona Eiyuu Senki.
• Ellis - A term used for a low-levelled magic-using character
  who joins late and doesn't really make up for it if your characters are
  built up well enough. Ellis starts at a very low level. Ellis charcters
  include Ellis of Ankoku no Ryu to hikari no tsurugi, Yodel of Fuuin no
  Tsurugi, Renault of Rekka no Ken, and Ewan of Fire Emblem: Seima no
  Kouseki.
• Gato - A term used for a character who joins VERY late,
  usually last, but with above average stats so that armies that enter
  the last section of the campaign with weak characters can stand a
  chance. Gato was playable only in the last chapter of Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu To Hikari No Tsurugi and was not made playable in either Book of Fire Emblem: Monshou No Nazo. Other Gato characters include Galzus of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and Athos of Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken.

  given romanisation Ichaival).
